Comments about ‘Gay 'agenda' targeted  Speakers in American Fork warn of dangers’

Dear Personally, You accuse Mormons of pushing our religion onto other
people and recuriting them to our way of thinking. We are not the only religion
that does this. Most every Church has some sort of missionaries that are trying
to "recurit" people to our religion. We do not force our religion on anyone, or
at least we shouldn't. When we send missionaries out, we are just offering
people the chance to join our church, we are not forcing them, nor would we
ever. And not all the Mormons are intolerant as you seemed to think. I
have two gay friends and I accept them for who they are. It doesn't make a bit
of difference to me if they are gay, straight, bisexual, whatever. They're good
people and nothing else matters besides that.

Which True Standards do you refer? Did the True and living prophets over the
last 170 yrs tell you these True Standards? How do you know they are True? How
do you know that these True Standards are the only path to Happiness? Hasnt
history told you yet that your prophets make mistakes? Somehow in Mormondom,
what is unequivocally True only becomes some general authorities Opinion in the
hindsight of history.

I didn't need to know the result of some study or to be told by parents,
friends, teachers or the media that at a certain age (as a heterosexual male) I
was extremely attracted to the opposite sex. That folks was not a choice in any
stretch of the imagination. And in the exact same way, the desire toward the
same sex comes from the same innate, uncoerced, biological drive. Same sex
attraction admittedly is not the norm so it scares some. The thought of a free
black person back in 1775 was not the norm either and the thought of it created
fear and had many turning to their bibles for proof that blacks were born to be
owned. People, use your common God-given sense. Nothing is more of an innate
biological response than sexual attraction. It is not something you turn on or
off or just choose on a whim or can even be influenced into. No amount of media,
pictures, personal insecurity, or peer influences could have suddenly made me
desire to be with the same sex. Turn off your dogma and turn on your brain
PLEASE!!!

Quinns third law of liberalism. Hatespeech is anything that Liberals
disagree with or that is contrary to or does not support the liberal agenda.
So don't tell me how you feel. Tell me how I want you feel or else you
are just hateful. And because we abhorre sin does not mean we abhorre the
sinner.And to Kristen on her way out. I doubt you would be on your way
out because of others. There is nothing that another person in this world can
do if you continue to foster your testimony of the gospel. You alone are
letting it die. Please take responsibility for your own actions and don't blame
others. You know the other members are not perfect-just like you- so don't
think you can hold them to a higher standard than you hold yourself. This even
goes for your church leaders. They are just imperfect men called to postions of
authority (that are tempted even greater than you).

Conservatism is distrust of people tempered by fear - William Gladstone

The saddest thing about our conservative brothers and sisters is how
methodically and meticulously they caste their aspersions, judge their fellow
man, all the while pretending to be something they clearly are not - spiritually
worthy.

It's funny to see how many homosexuals scream at the top of their voices how
persecuted they are, how fear is used to discriminate against them and how they
are called names....

Have you stopped to read any of your own posts?
Some of them are the most hate-filled and vile postings I've ever seen. And
nope, after reading them I still wouldn't think about changing my stance that
homosexuality is wrong.

Your plight is nowhere near the Civil Rights
Movement no matter how much you try to make it.

Have you actually
watched your Gay Pride Parades? Disgusting, revolting behavior. You want to be
taken seriously then start acting a little more mature.

And the
comments of How does my wanting a homosexual marriage or adoption affect my
marriage just make me laugh. No one ever said you affect my marriage. You affect
the family that God created with man and woman. That is the ideal. That is what
is expected of mankind. You don't like it, take it up with God. His word is
right there for you to read and understand.

I don't buy your
argument. Society is falling apart because of the natural family breakdown.

The saddest thing about our liberal brothers and sisters is how methodically and
they cast their aspertions, judge their fellow man, all the while pretending to
be something they aren't - spiritually worthy.

please have compassion
on these poor, judgmental fools.

For proof of these comments, just
read this blog. Funny how it is the liberals, homosexuals who judge and name
call to those who disagree with their lifestyles. Yet they think they are
open-minded and inclusive...only when someone has the same mindset as them.
Otherwise....watch out....

Where do you get your stats that 1 in 20 is homosexual? It
never ceases to amaze how people will lie to make their case seem more important
and correct...

As for the Proclamation being 'tweaked' in coming
years....silly thought my friend...just look at how that Proclamtion has become
reality. Even the elect will be deceived....Thanks to Isaiah who saw our
time...evil will be called good and good called evil.

Truth is always
truth, not matter the circumstances. God doesn't lower His standards because we
humans aren't strong enough to live by them. We will get our just reward;
nothing more, nothing less. It's all about obedience, the my will or wants or
needs...but God's.

As for loving my homosexual neighbor and
friend...always have, always will. doesn't mean I agree with their behavior.
I've had lesbians babysit my children. I have neighbors who commit adultery...I
still have BBQ's with them, but I don't agree with what they are doing. Support
her MS effort each year.

It is you, the homosexuals, who can't love
the neighbor who doesn't agree with your behavior. It is YOU. Go look in the
mirror and see the hate you have for your neighbor!

This is an excellent but intensely sad
example of how the conservative mind works.

By holding a mirror up
to themselves they see what they are, don't like it, and then like a magician's
slight-of-hand move, turn the whole issue around and project their
not-so-cleverly concealed personality quirks onto a different person, group,
etc.

And of course, the word liberal (which has been thoroughly
denigrated from the original Websters definition to a Rush Limbaugh-type
political definition) is always in their someplace.

These Rush
O'Hannity types are to be thanked, for they are bringing the American people
back together again for a much, much better world than exists now.

I think it should be pointed out that the gay community in this country bears
some responsibility for the lack of acceptance that they face in society. I
have nothing against homosexuality as a lifestyle; but even moderates like
myself tend to take a second look at supporting gay rights when I see outrageous
public displays at gay parades, rallys and other events. I dont dislike gays
and lesbians, but I do dislike open promiscuity and the distasteful behavior and
apparel exhibited publicly at these events. If the gay community is serious
about being accepted in mainstream society, they would find more support by
toning down the rhetoric, and demonstrating to the rest of the country that they
are no different from their heterosexual counterparts.

If, as you've admitted, marriage equity doesn't harm
heterosexual marriage, then there is no compelling reason to treat us
differently under the law, and it's really not up to you to say whether or not
marriage law applies to gay families simply because we offend your questionable
ideas of who is moral and who isn't.

I was threatened for my life in my last year of HS by the so called Jesus
Followers, I love the LDS Church, its the followers i dont understand he
preached love and acceptance even among the adulturers and sinners. He also said
forgive them father for they know not what they do. And D&C 64:10 says I the
lord will forgive whom i will forgive but of you it is required to forgive all
men. Doesnt that also mean Love?

RE:Kristen- Thank you for your
words they made me want to cry to know that there are at least some decent
people out there.

What if god doesnt exist all these people saying
things in his name would just be proven wrong and gay people can have families
its called adoption and invetro fertilization, some of the best families are
from that.

And a Gay agenda just makes me laugh i am gay and i dont
know anything of this sort besides wanting the same rights and not having to
worry. I pay my taxes like everyone else so why cant i have the same rights?

If you define marriage equity as everyone's
right to have a traditional marriage under the law, then yes I admit that
marriage equity does not harm marriage.

Don't blame me or the
courts that you can't have all the privileges of marriage, including children.
We can't be responsible for the sadness you choose by denying yourself marriage
(Between a man and a woman) which is equally available to you.

Conservatives embrace the wrathful-god notion. The God that is perpetually
angry and who sends people into everlasting hellfire - because HE loves them.
Conservatives LOVE that idea and try to be the same as their punitive Old
Testament God.
